MELVILLE, NEW YORK, February 5, 2007 - FONAR Corporation (NASDAQ-FONR), The Inventor of MR Scanning™, announced today, that General Electric Healthcare (GEHC) (www.gehealthcare.com/usen/mr/fonar_standing_ovation/index.html) a manufacturer's representative of FONAR, and FONAR have sold a FONAR UPRIGHT™ Full Range-of-Motion™ Multi-Position™ MRI to the Center for Diagnostic Imaging (CDI) of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
           Founded by distinguished Spine Radiologist Dr. Kenneth Heithoff in 1981, CDI was one of the first outpatient imaging providers in the country. CDI currently owns and operates 39 diagnostic imaging centers in eight states, including Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Washington, and Florida. CDI's distinction arose from its unwavering commitment to patient-centered care and its subspecialized radiologists.
           "The purchase of FONAR's UPRIGHT™ Full Range-of-Motion™ Multi-Position™ MRI is foundational to our newly formed partnership with the Northwestern College of Chiropractic (Northwest Health Science University). Through this collaboration, we're committed to offering the most comprehensive imaging services to physicians and our patients to meet their unique imaging needs, as well as furthering the science of imaging for the chiropractic community," said Robert Baumgartner, CEO of CDI. "In terms of MRI services, the addition of this Open UPRIGHT™ system means our patients have access under one roof to a 3T MRI, 1.5T MRI, and axial loading in an upright/supine scanner. In addition, the open architecture of this scanner provides another MR imaging option for severely claustrophobic patients, as well as obese patients."
           FONAR believes that the ability of its new MRI technology to fully visualize all body parts, and particularly the spine, fully weight-loaded and in its full range of normal positions, is a key new capability it is bringing to MRI. In particular, the positioning capability of the FONAR scanner permits the MRI operator, with the patient's cooperation, to position the patient in the actual position that engenders his/her symptoms, so that a picture can be taken of the patient's body part in the exact position that generates his/her symptoms.
           "FONAR's new technology, that enables visualization of full weight-bearing flexion and extension of these key body parts, will add a new dimension of service to CDI's state-of-the-art imaging facility," said Raymond Damadian, M.D., president and founder of FONAR. "We expect our UPRIGHT™ Multi-Position™ FONAR scanner will increase the precision of radiologic diagnosis, which will mean improved outcomes for patients," he continued.
